Causes of Slip and Fall Accidents at Walgreens
Slip and fall accidents at Walgreens often happen due to hazardous conditions that the store failed to address in a timely manner. A premises liability lawsuit will allow you to recover compensation from a company that did not correct safety issues that could affect customers or warn people about potential hazards. Walgreens may be liable for accidents and injuries that occurred because of issues such as:
- Improperly maintained floors - If the floors inside a Walgreens store are in disrepair, customers may be affected by slipping or tripping hazards. Floor tiles that are broken or missing may be the cause of fall accidents, as may other issues that cause floors to become overly slick.
- Obstacles in walkways - Objects left in a store's aisles or other obstructions can be the cause of trip and fall accidents. Walgreens has a responsibility to make sure its store is free of obstructions that may result in tripping hazards, and customers may be injured due to forms of negligence such as leaving boxes or equipment unattended, failing to pick up items that have fallen from shelves, or allowing electrical cords to stretch across walkways.
- Lack of proper floor mats - Customers can slip and fall on wet floors if Walgreens has not provided appropriate mats near doors. These mats will prevent water from accumulating near entrances during wet weather, but if they are not present, or if they are not sufficiently absorbent, unreasonable slipping hazards may lead to serious injuries.
- Spills and recently-cleaned floors - Slip and fall accidents may occur due to spills that are not cleaned up in a timely manner, such as when products fall from a store's shelves. Floors that have recently been mopped can also be very slippery, and customers may be injured if they are not warned about the potential hazards.
Slip and fall accidents can often lead to very serious injuries, such as broken bones, head injuries, and back injuries. These types of injuries can have a lasting impact on your life, and they may require extensive medical treatment. They may also affect your income, including causing you to be temporarily unable to work while you are recovering or even leading to permanent disabilities.
